Peter Lynch Tchaikovsky(1840~1893) had been interested in music when he was little, but his father thought that he could not make living by music, so he was sent to a law school and became a lawyer. In 1862, Tchaikovsky decided to quit his job and get into St.Petersburg Conservatory. After graduating, he became a music teacher and started to compose.
Tchaikovsky wasn't good at socializing, some said he was just too shy to express his feeling, some said he offended many people because he often talked meanly. Maybe terrible relationship was why his compositions are full of emotions, that is, music was his only friend.
